    We are

    Born like this

    Into this

    Into these carefully mad wars

    Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness

    Into bars where people no longer speak to each other

    Into fist fights that end as shootings and knifings

    Born into this

    Into hospitals which are so expensive that it’s cheaper to die

    Into lawyers who charge so much it’s cheaper to plead guilty

    Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed

    Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes

    -Charles Bukowski
